Which of the following is not an integer?

77% Answer Correctly

-1

0

\({1 \over 2}\)

2

How many hours does it take a car to travel 600 miles at an average speed of 75 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
9 hours
5 hours
1 hour
8 hours

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{600mi}{75mph} \)
8 hours


3

This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

59% Answer Correctly

associative

PEDMAS

distributive

commutative


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 15% off." If Monty buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $20, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$37.00
$17.00
$24.00
$21.00

Solution

By buying two shirts, Monty will save $20 x \( \frac{15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$20 x 15}{100} \) = \( \frac{$300}{100} \) = $3.00 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$20.00 + ($20.00 - $3.00)
$20.00 + $17.00
$37.00

\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?

55% Answer Correctly

distributive property for division

commutative property for multiplication

commutative property for division

distributive property for multiplication


Solution

The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).
